I don't think I'll be using fur on the bear since it only f*cks up on me and I'm not that good with it to fix the problems and get a nice render. I will however try and get a softer feel to the bear.

thanks t1ck135 user added image

this is actually the first real image i'm creating in 3d, before it has only been a model and some simple background and a decent render.
But now I have to think at all these small things and I have to work in different ways with different objects so I'm learning alot as I go.

oh and here's a little update on the hand:

honestly tho, I don't think it'll affect the overall feel and looks of the image...

this is going great. the hand is fantastic.

i think the bear however looks a little cartoony, compared to the hand... i think it's the really round hands and feet.

having said that, i can really see the theme of fear in this one.

well done
